Another thing about Harley's is the sound. Bear in mind that with a Harley Davidson you get an engine note that you won't with anyone else (it has to do with the crank design, I'll explain more fully if anyone wants to know). I don't know if the Revolution engines used in the VRSC bikes sound the same, but any other Harley Davidson definitely will. I personally loved my old Dyna's growl, but some people just can't stand it.
Riding a bike isn't like driving a car at all. I don't know if you've ever ridden before or plan on getting your license with this bike, but just bear that in mind. cj2112 also has a good point. I never had any major issues with my bike, but motorcycles in general are a bit more finicky than cars and you'll be fiddling with it more. If you can do the work yourself then you may be okay with this. I loved working on my bike but it's not for everyone. Don't expect to save money on a bike, insurance will be a bunch more and maintenance bills will balance out the better mileage.
